Duhamel Robbed – Ex Girlfriend Arrested

January 6, 2012

The year 2011 did not end well for 2010 WSOP Main Event winner Jonathan Duhamel. On December 21 his home in Longueuil, just outside of Montreal, was invaded by assailants. Duhamel was badly beaten and tied up. His WSOP bracelet, a high-end Rolex watch and an unspecified amount of cash were stolen.

Following tip offs from the public, two men and one woman were charged and a fourth man was arrested and questioned by the police. The men arrested were John Stephan Clark Lemay, Andre Perron and Anthony Bourque. However, the woman, who was the first to be arrested, was the most interesting person in the case. She was Duhamel’s ex-girlfriend, 20-year-old Bianca Rojas-Latraverse (in picture), who dated Duhamel a few months ago. She was with Duhamel during the 2011 WSOP Main Event. With her arrest it was confirmed that the attack was not random. Bianca was charged with five offences including conspiracy. Bianca was the only one of the four suspects Duhamel knew.

A few days ago Duhamel spoke to CJAD Radio about the attack. He said that the attackers had entered his home posing as parcel deliverymen and beat him up. Duhamel said, “I’ve played hockey all my life, so I’ve had some fights but not one like this one.” Duhamel also expressed regret over entering into a relationship with Bianca, and said that he was not surprised about her involvement. Duhamel described his five month relationship with Bianca as “rocky” and said that it included a pregnancy scare. “There’s no relationship that can end on good terms, so of course it was bad, but it wasn’t bad, like, real bad,” Duhamel said.

The Rolex has been traced, but the cherished WSOP bracelet is yet to be found. Speaking about the bracelet Duhamel said, “It means everything. It was a realization of a dream to me to win the biggest, most prestigious tournament in the world. It’s kind of like a Stanley Cup ring for me.” Seth Palansky, a spokesman for WSOP, said that the bracelet can be replaced. “We reached out to Jonathan when this occurred to let him know we’ll be able to replace it if need be. We’re not concerned with that yet. We’re going to let the police continue their investigation.”

Duhamel was in the news recently for promoting the $1 million buy-in bracelet event that will be added in WSOP 2012. Earlier in 2011 he featured in one of the WSOP Classic Rematches.
